"I'm still a little stunned," Kenagy said after he was handed the Fran McCarthy championship trophy. "I thought maybe I'd get to this point by the time I reached college, but not now."

Kenagy, a sophomore at St. Luke's School in New Canaan, said he regularly shoots in the upper 70s and when he reached the 18th green, he knew what was on the line.

The eventual champion took a long look at his 8-foot par putt on the 18th green before sinking it to secure his under-par round.

"I wasn't really thinking about it until we made the turn," said Kenagy, who drained five birdies on the day. "I struck the ball really well today."

Kenagy was playing in the second-to-last group on Tuesday and his late score knocked out Landegren, who finished early in the morning.

"I couldn't believe it," Landegren said. "I thought I had it."

Landegren registered 16 pars, one birdie and one bogey en route to an even-par 72 and the girls championship.

The 13-year-old had plenty of confidence coming into Tuesday's competition after playing at Richter in the American Junior Golf Association's Northeast Open last week.

She finished 19th playing from the white tees while Tuesday she was hitting from the gold tees.

"I had a good attitude coming in," Landegren said. "This is a much more laid back atmosphere than the AJGA. I felt confident, but I wasn't over-confident. I didn't expect to win."

Danbury High's Rima Antous took second with an 85, beating out Hatter teammate and defending girls champion Lisa Maybruch.

While Landegren didn't expect to win, 8-year-old Ryan Mondonedo, of New Milford, did.

Mondonedo set a tournament record with a score of 20 in the 8-and-under boys division, which played just five holes and was teeing off from the middle of the fairways.

"It wanted to win," said Mondonedo, who was sporting a Tiger Woods hat and had a Tiger driver cover. "It was challenging, but it was fun. I thought I played well."

Mondonedo has learned the game playing with his two older brothers, Julian and Tim, who played in the Boys Blue division. Julian finished second behind Williams with an 80 and was one stroke ahead of Lars Wallin, who took third.

"They've taught me a lot," Ryan Mondonedo said. "I like playing with them."

Not only did the tournament have a record 139 junior golfers participate, but her son Jordan also claimed the 12-and-under boys division title with a 48 over nine holes.

"I like playing here because it's hard," said Jordan, who registered two birdies on the day. "It really forces you to make the right decisions."

Jordan, who is hoping to play for the Brewster High (N.Y.) golf team in the future, admits he is lucky because he gets to play Richter about twice a week.

He's also got a close up view of the AJGA tournament last weekend.

"They were really good," Jordan said of the AJGA players. "But one day, I'd like to play with them and beat their butts."

It's that kind of attitude that made the day a success in the eyes of Richter Park head professional Ralph Salito.

"Everyone walked out of here with a smile on their faces," Salito said. "That's what we want. We want these kids to have a good time. We want them to feel welcome. We want them to come back and keep playing."
